The John Mackey Award has whittled the field to a list of eight semifinalists.

The Mackey Award is handed out annually to the best tight end in the country. The eight players who have moved on as semifinalists for the honor are Iowa's Noah Fant and TJ Hockenson, Alabama's Irv Smith, Missouri's Albert Okwuegbunam, Stanford's Kaden Smith, Texas A&M's Jace Sternberger, Boston College's Tommy Sweeney and UCLA's Caleb Wilson. San Jose State responded to the announcement by tweeting out a GIF of a worried child, as the list omits one of the clear top tight ends in the country in Josh Oliver (51-642-3).

Fant (6'4/232) was a gametime decision after going through the concussion protocol this week. He played, and flashed in a big way, with a 28-yard drop-in-the-bucket TD pass from Nate Stanley in the second quarter in addition to an explosive 58-yard reception that didn't end in the end zone. This was Fant's second-career 100-yard game. He's a ridiculous athlete and a potential Round 1 NFL pick. Oct 13 - 3:33 PM
